U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday in a rambling speech that lasted nearly an hour.
Trump repeatedly criticized the institution and other world leaders.
One foreign diplomat texted The Washington Post’s Ishaan Tharoor: “This man is stark, raving mad.
Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?”Former State Department spokesperson and deputy U.S. ambassador to the UN, Ned Price, dismissed the address entirely: “Let’s not pretend this is a foreign policy speech or dignify it by calling it one.
“It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them — and sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help,” he said, repeating his false claim that he has unilaterally solved seven “unendable wars,” and, as a result, that the deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
